Mariposa

Butterfly painted lady spread your wings Thighs of color pose your love I light candle flame for you I am consumed by fire Since my house has burned down I can see the moon more clearly I gaze upon your Eden falling upon me I run blindly to you as you mount flowers in my garden As I hold you in my arms do not let me feel your departure upon my hand...

Ken, your pen is beautiful. (heart) the exposure of healing is found through the imagery. somehow I feel this new passion burning deep inside you, is what you needed. but u know you can't keep a mariposa in your hands for that long. a beautiful gift of a poem. and PS... im from Texas. wink!. luv*Linda

Hola Paloma, Some say love is like a butterfly, if you chase it, it will run away..If you are patient it will stay in your hands,, Besos, Ken
